They shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit on the ground and tremble at every moment, and be amazed at you.

They shall stand on the land, and shall cause their voice to be heard against you, and shall cry bitterly, and shall throw dust on their heads. They shall wallow themselves in the ashes.

And in their wailing they shall lift up a lamentation and lament over you, saying, Who is like Tyre; as she who is quiet in the midst of the sea? When your goods went out from the seas, you filled many people. With the plenty of your riches and your goods you enriched the kings of the earth. At this time you are broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, your goods and all your company in your midst have fallen. All the residents of the coastlands are appalled at you, and their kings are horribly terrified; their faces tremble. The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you have become terrors. And you shall not be forever.
